About this listen

Welcome to season two of What on Earth?!

In this episode, we are celebrating both LGBTQ+ History AND International Women and Girls in STEM day with Dr. Sam Giles. We talk to Sam about her unexpected and accidental passion for fossilized fish, being a Queer parent in STEM, and how to make fieldwork more inclusive. 

Sam Giles studied Geology at the University of Bristol and did a  Ph.D. in Paleontology at the University of Oxford where she studied ray-finned fishes.  Currently,  she is a Royal Society Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham where she is studying the external and internal anatomy of living and fossil vertebrates.

If you'd like to contact Sam for more information about her work or anything on the podcast, you can contact her on:
